Well, it really comes as no surprise right as the baseball season is nearing the playoffs another huge steroids scandals floods the news. This time wide sources of information are revealed about illegal underground locations harboring hundreds of thousands of anabolic steroids and other illegal drugs. Most of the supplies were found in the U.S. with most leads coming from DEA offices in New York and California. This whole distribution network through stemmed from various other European countries as well as Canada, Mexico, and China.
Several well-known athlete names are linked with the U.S. investigation which covers the following sports: baseball, football, boxing, and wrestling. Why are athletes so determined to use illegal performance enhancing drugs when so many others have been caught in recent years? The pictures shown in this yahoo article are astounding as the volume of drugs confiscated and found on site! They're actually large trash and storage containers filled to the top.
The baseball players involved in the scandal who may get into the playoffs will be under nothing but scrutiny and will only create a black cloud to form over their team and hurt their chances of succeeding. Too much negative light are on baseball players' now for using steroids and it's getting worse for all sports as it extends further into football and wrestling. Minor league baseball players haven't learned a lesson from their media outbursts and the mistakes and consequences of their peers. I can only imagine the number of arrests which have yet to be made in the putrid international drug crackdown.
Jason Giambi better hope his name doesn't resurface and enjoys these fun days as a Yankee (why has baseball not suspended him for the rest of the season anyway?) Inspecting this guy's locker would be a good idea; a collection of stingers, flippies, human growth hormones, horse pills, syringes, and unprescribed pain killers may be packed in a hidden compartment. Get on it pronto MLB!
